the law requires us to pay retail. whereas in the va and medicaid we do both price discounts in purchasing. if we did that in medicare, that would save us $160 billion a year. what i would like to see is us save money on health care. we need to do that, but it must be through system reform. host: 10 to save enough money through system reform without looking at benefits? guest: you've got to start there, because you really don't want to say some day we will have a system that it is broken. if we went through things that are legitimate ways to save money and reform the system, then we get into the benefits and we would either have to adjust the pavements or make decisions on how to deal with the benefits. but you have to start where you can actually save money. so there really is some common ground here. health care is too expensive. it's not just medicare. and thousand people they are going into the medicare system, so that's a challenge. that really says let's reform the system. host: where is the common ground? guest:

joining to us discuss is georgetown law's john buckley. thank you for being here. john buckley, let's begin. what is the alternative minimum tax? guest: in very simple terms, the alternative minimum tax requires you to pay the greater of what you pay under the regular income tax or what you would compute under the minimum tax which has a slightly broader base. it disallows some deductions that would be allowed in the regular tax. in some respects it's very similar to cap on itemized deductions that's currently being discussed. rather than directly attack preferences in expenditures it essentially puts an overall cap on benefit. there's no new ideas in this debate. the cap bears a very strong relationship to how the alternative minimum tax works. host: here is the form 6251 from the i.r.s. for the 2011 tax preparations. and here's part one. the alternative minimum taxable income. 28 of these to help you come up with whether or not you fall into the a.m.t. how does this work? how do you know? >> you know -- guest: you know, i believe that you can only do this with co
